When starting Emacs (GTK build) on an X server which has no window
manager (such as a newly-created Xnest session), setting
`frame-resize-pixelwise' to t followed by a resize operation often has
no effect.

Steps to reproduce:

Xnest :3 -geometry 877x877+0+0
DISPLAY=:3 emacs -Q --eval "(progn (setq frame-resize-pixelwise t)
(set-frame-parameter (selected-frame) 'fullscreen 'fullboth))"

Expected result:
Emacs frame fills Xnest window precisely.

Actual result:
Emacs frame size differs from Xnest window size. In my case, the
minibuffer/echo area is cut off and there is an area to the right of
the Emacs window that is not used by the Emacs frame.

Analysis:
There are two problems:
(1) x_check_fullscreen (xterm.c) calls XResizeWindow without first
calling x_wm_set_size_hint (gtkutil.c), which would propagate the
`frame-resize-pixelwise' flag to have an effect on GTK/GDK
(2) x_wm_set_size_hint returns without propagating the
`frame-resize-pixelwise' flag when the frame's fullscreen property is
'maximized or 'fullboth.

The first appears to be simple oversight, but the second is
intentional to work around a KWin bug.

Note that despite the name, the GTK version of `x_wm_set_size_hint'
does not rely on the presence of a window manager or indeed
communicate with it.

Fixing the first problem is trivial, but the second problem would
require knowing more about the KWin bug that is being avoided by the
workaround at #14627.
